As a programmer, I want to create function names with arbitrary characters. so that I can overload operators

See request on Hacker News

One possibility would be to allow arbitrary characters in function definitions and invocations, though that might lead to ambiguities in the grammar.

func **(x, y) {
    Math::pow(x, y)
}

test.fact("Can use operators",

    2 ** 3,  =>, 8.0,
    10 ** 2, =>, 100.0
)
